Hi Christine,
You really shouldn't have to worry too much about the blank lines at
the end, but the behavior may indicate a more serious problem. If
you're adding a blank line at the bottom of the page, and it's
appearing at the top of the next page, you should certainly verify
that the book has hard page breaks. If you are inadvertently
exceeding the number of lines, as set forth by the margin and page
length settings, than it would cause the software to issue a soft
page break and consequently the next page would be blank if there are
hard breaks present. My initial guess would be that you're dealing
with soft page breaks and it is just pushing the blank line onto the next page.

Hi all,
I'm currently validating a book that was provided by a publisher (so
it is an extremely easy validation), but there are no blank lines at
the top or bottom of the pages. I am fairly new here and don't yet
understand completely how this all works, but I thought that books
are supposed to have these blank lines because of something that the
stripper does, so I tried inserting them at the top and bottom of
each page. However, each time I did this at the bottom of a page,
the blank line transferred to the top of the next page. I have tried
changing margins, but this makes no difference either. Are these
blank lines necessary at the top and bottom of each page, and if so,
how can I successfully insert them? This is a really interesting
book, and since it came from a publisher, the text is perfect; so
I'd hate to accept it as is (without blank lines) and have the
stripper eliminate the first and last line on each page. Thanks.
Christine
